hello everyone!

I just recently had Gastric Sleeve surgery on 06/18/2018. I was home from the hospital the following morning. Feeling great, getting all of my exercise in, having no trouble with Fluid, or getting my Protein in (so far, cross your fingers for me!).

Is it normal for my stomach to produce a mating call any time it's given any sort of liquid?

I'd say it's "normal" in that your stomach is still healing so it's possible the liquids are triggering the nerves responsible for triggering the noises. Unless it's just some bubbling from the liquids making their way through, should ease up once the swelling is gone.

Hi Weight of Mind congratulations on a successful surgery. I know sometimes mine once in awhile can make almost obscene LOL noises. My dr. Was running late the other day and it decided to do what you called a mating call. I think it was a combo call of ok I’ve got Water where’s my Protein, it’s time it’s time. I think now we just have to be more in tune with our body and it’s needs not it’s want. Sounds like you’re right on track have a happy, healthy, blessed journey.🙏👏👏🤗

My stomach gurgles and squeaks like a pod of dolphins. I'm pushing seven months out. I think this is just the new normal. Noisey assed stomach!

Weight of Mind, I was also sleeved on 6/18/18 and my new sleeve makes a considerable amount of noise. I attribute it to the trapped gases making their way out of my abdomen. Sounds like you’ve had a relatively easy recovery thus far, congrats.

I am almost 8 weights out and I could have a conversation with my stomach. I would say it is normal.

Oh gosh yes, my stomach is so loud. I have a list of excuses to recycle because it's that bad. It does get better though. I find mine is the worst within the first 30-45 mins after a meal. Sometimes it will do it when I'm drinking though, and that's when its really annoying.

Exactly the same here at 4 months. Empty, full, with Water, without water, it's noisy!

I named mine bob. I figured something that talked so much should have a name.

I like that "Bob" find you realize it could also stand for Belly On Board? I named my itty bitty gastric ulcer, Hector, I figured it might Hector and nag me if I didn't swear off NSAIDS and not follow a more bland gastro-friendly diet from now on!😪

I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery & my hiata hernia repaired on 6/19/18. My recovery hasn't been easy. My stomach does make alot of noise and my chest feel tight. But still hoping to recover as soon as possible.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
